We treasured per night of no-holds-barred humour on the tennis-court of this iconic boutique lodge.
Pikes Ibiza is definitely known for its mischievous heart and tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, so how better to hold a stand-up comedy evening versus quirky boutique resort?
Last night – Friday 16 July – saw another instalment from the eye-wateringly amusing Lust For Laughs have underway. The month-to-month show sees an eclectic line-up of intercontinental funnymen and ladies decide to try the level. Discover the within range.
Stand-up funny is not things generally linked to the light Isle and performances tend to be few and far between, therefore the celebration was actually just a bit of an unique handle on all of our occasions calendar!
From 21:00 onwards, friends begun to pile on the renowned Pikes Ibiza tennis-court, using their unique chairs on the same red tarmac that belated king icon Freddie Mercury regularly see a game when residing at the rock ‘n’ roll hotel.
We were welcomed with a sharp windows of bubbly from celebration sponsors Gigglewater Prosecco, a good touch that undoubtedly added to the sense of affair even as we seated lower. It needs to were years since I went to a comedy gig, and so I ended up being anticipating an evening of naughty humor and warped humour.
Managed by Brit comedian James Regal, the line-up for any nights included a worldwide roster of ability like sassy Argentinian Irene Meneguzzi, her other countryman Andres Fajngold, Kiwi John Allis and, the headliner, Irishman Mike Rice.
Beginning the show, all of our variety James warned the audience that there could well be purely “no jokes about pills” – due to the fact, evidently, the great folks of Ibiza already know everything there is to know about any of it specific subject! But as well as that, literally no topic got off of the table.
First of all had been Irene, which regaled the viewers using the relatable problems of being a modern-day girl merely switched 40, along with that requires: Botox, therapies, Tinder and mentally traumatising visits to IKEA with possible future husbands.
Next, dry-as-a-bone funnyman Andres got us in stitches together with deadpan, hapless figure. They required good ten full minutes to work out whether he was actually gaining operate – somebody allow the people an award for his operating chops!
After a quick period – and quick Gigglewater top-up, this time around testing the tasty rose type – it had been unique Zealander John’s seek out take to the mic. The guy started off really, but, the guy risked dropping the audience when he insulted Italian pizza pie. I like a dark sense 
of humour, but all of us have all of our limits!
Headliner Mike Rice sent the no-holds-barred finale of the evening. After starting off fairly Computer with myths of an Irish youth, he veered into highly controversial area, visibly enjoying deciding to make the audience cringe.
From “shagging” trout to your Virgin Mary, the perimeter Festival performer actually went because of it – and I’m pretty sure the online world authorities would are available and find me personally basically continued several of their more darker content right here.
On the whole, the nights mirth and comedic mayhem at Pikes Ibiza was a breath of oxygen. Your faint-hearted, it might be most readily useful averted, however if you prefer their humour slightly nasty, it really is an excellent evening out for dinner together with your pals.
